Back in April, Brent and I went to Hawaii and Elroy came to watch the kids.  Elroy decided to bring his owners at the last minute to help him out…because 3 kids are a lot to handle for one dog!  At least that's how my kids looked at the situation.

Ever since my parents have had an empty nest, Elroy has become their fifth child.  He has quite a personality, which is helped along by my mom.  She sends packages to the kids with dog prints and a return address of Elroy from Montana.

My parents are amazing!  They watched the kids and a rowdy dog for the whole week.  Every day they did something fun like going to the zoo and waterslides in the backyard.  I think the kids were a little bummed when we came home!

But, since Elroy is part of the family I can brag on him a little.  Not only can he smile for the camera-

but he also does tricks.

I got so many great pictures of Elroy, I decided to make an album for my mom.  🙂
